PHP Development
PHP applications on hosting you already know
PHP Development
Many business websites and portals run on Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, and many of them are years old and still part of daily work. We build new LAMP applications and look after existing ones: fixing bugs, upgrading old PHP versions, closing security gaps and speeding up slow MySQL queries. LAMP runs well on shared hosting and low-cost servers, which keeps running costs down for small and mid-sized businesses.
What We Deliver
What's included in PHP Development.
PHP application development
New applications in current PHP, using a framework such as Laravel or CodeIgniter when the project benefits from one.
Work on existing code
Bug fixes and new features on older PHP sites, made carefully so the parts that work keep working.
PHP version upgrades
Moving old code to a supported PHP version, replacing deprecated functions and testing each page along the way.
MySQL tuning
Indexes, query rewrites and schema fixes for pages that slow down as the data grows.
Security fixes
Prepared statements, input validation, file permission checks and updated libraries to close common gaps.
Hosting and server setup
Apache configuration, SSL, backups and deployment on shared hosting or a Linux VPS.
Our Process
How the work runs, step by step.
Review
For existing sites we review the code, server and database. For new builds we agree on the features and the hosting.
Plan
We list what to fix or build first, starting with anything that affects security or daily use.
Build or fix
Changes are made on a staging copy of the site first, not on the live server.
Test
We check the affected pages and forms on the staging copy before release.
Release and maintain
We release at a quiet time with a backup ready. We can stay on for maintenance and small changes after launch if you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about PHP Development.
Not always. Often the code can be upgraded and cleaned up in stages, which usually costs less than a rebuild. We will look at it and give you an honest view of both options.
Yes. We get access to the code, database and hosting, take a backup, and review the code before making any changes.
Usually, yes. LAMP applications are made for that kind of hosting. If your plan has limits that affect the app, we will tell you before they become a problem.
Yes, if you need it. After launch we can look after PHP and library updates, backups, security patches and small changes.
